FLORENCE HENRI: 1928 -1933
2024-09-23Florence Henri: 1928 – 1933 is an exhibition that brings together a selection of work from the multidisciplinary artist’s portfolio, “12 Fotografien,” published in 1974 by Galerie Wilde in Köln, Germany.
Born in 1893 in New York, Florence Henri immigrated to Europe at the age of two, living amongst family members in numerous locales including London, Vienna, Paris, Munich, and eventually Rome, where she lived with her aunt and was exposed to the avant-garde by her uncle, the Italian Futurist, Gino Gori. By the age of eighteen she became a skilled pianist under the guidance of composer Ferruccio Busoni. Around 1912, Henri relocated to Berlin to continue her music studies and after the outbreak of WWI found herself trapped in Germany where she began composing music for silent films.
